The popularity of electrical equipment, including solar energy systems for the home, is gradually increasing, and more and more people are learning about the relevant electrical knowledge, especially when using solar energy systems, both the design of the size of the solar energy system and the profit that can be earned from the solar energy system at a later stage need to be arrived at through accurate electrical calculations. Below is an explanation of watts and volts, including the relationship between the two calculations.
Before learning how to convert watts to volts, we need to learn some specialized electrical terms.
A watt is a unit of electrical power, abbreviated as w, which is mainly used to describe the amount of energy consumed to operate an electrical appliance. The same unit is also known as a kilowatt, which is a larger unit of measurement and is usually used to describe the power consumption of an electrical system in a domestic or commercial setting. Converting watts to kilowatts is simply a matter of dividing the value by 1000, i.e:
1000w = 1kw
Volt is a unit used to describe the magnitude of electric potential of an electrical system. Generally, the loads in a practical application are connected in parallel to ensure that the individual units start and shut down independently. Therefore, within the same electrical system, the loads generally have the same electromotive force, e.g. household appliances all have an electromotive force of approximately 110 volts.
As for kilovolts, the exact meaning is the same as that of volts, which is the unit used to express the magnitude of the electromotive force, except that kilovolts are measured in larger units. Converting volts to kilovolts is simply a matter of dividing the value by 1000, ie:
1000v = 1kv
An ampere is a unit used to describe the amount of current in an electrical circuit. In a microscopic sense, it describes the size of the volume of electrons present in real time at a particular point in the circuit, while a volt describes how much energy is present at that particular point as the electrons pass through a closed circuit.
The reason why amperage is mentioned here is precisely because watts and volts are not units of measurement of the same thing, and cannot be converted directly by the formula, but rather the concept of amperage needs to be introduced as an intermediate value to help in the calculation.
